Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(S)-amino-pentanoic acid (5-isopropyl-thiazol-2-yl)-amide (150 mg, 0.54 mmol) and cyclopropyl methyl ketone(45 mg, 0.54 mmol)in 10 mL of methylene chloride and 5 drops of acetic acid was treated with sodium triacetoxyborohydride (172 mg, 0.8 mmol) and stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was quenched with dilute ammonium hydroxide and extracted with methylene chloride. The organic layer was separated and concentrated to dryness. The residue was purified by HPLC to give 2-(S)-(1-cyclopropyl-ethylamino)-pentanoic acid (5-isopropyl-thiazol-2-yl)-amide as a colorless oil, LC-MS RT=1.4 min, M+1=310.
